an assignment from last week that I really liked.Also a place holder for until I make a new Mafia one.

There are so many symbols in this I doubt many of you care, but the crescent and star represent my religion.How many of you knew Ty was a Muslim? (please no rude or prejudiced comments on it, especially of the terrorist variety. Respect all religions)

Ooooo! Chinese Muslim! I've seen quite a lot of them in my school >w< I actually keep forgetting some of them are muslim :/ Loud and proud I say! Racism is bad! D< Sadly, I'm not muslim, just someone with many many many muslim friends xD

True that. I would find it weird if people asked if I went to church every Sunday even though I'm not christian...That's happened a lot xD My friend convinced me to go. I went for like, 2 Sundays and stopped.

Chinese Newspaper = Chinese (Asians FTW! )Gangster Hat = Ty being fly like that XDGlasses = LADY GAGA Treble Clef = Music, do you still play drums for band? Crescent Moon n' Star = Muslim, I remember you mentioned that sometime ago...or was it a long time ago (is an old watcher orz;;; )Hole in left ear = your ear piercing went missing along with part of your ear...?? Ink (or is it blood?) splatters = Actually, I have no clue, hair? Heart = LADY GAGA...AGAIN! White light/rainbow = EXPLOSION OF COLOURS AND HAPPINESS

"How many of you knew Ty was a Muslim? (please no rude or prejudiced comments on it, especially of the terrorist variety. Respect all religions)"

...You're so cool.

Hahaha, I've known you're Muslim XD. And I think it's great that you're willing to put it out there...show them all that yes, I am a great artist, and yes, I am a Muslim. We're completely normal, and we disown those bastards who use our religion out of context and give us a bad name when what they are doing has no root in our religion whatsoever.

I've thought of doing religious art so many times, but got stuck.It's hard to do strictly religious art because of how Islam is, but I'm not super into political stuff either.So I thought I'd start with opening up myself, to make it part of my identity, and make a statement in my own way.I feel it makes people understand easier.

Religious art scares me too, actually. :'DYou never know what people will say. The only time I finally had the initiative to do make some religious art was for an assignment...the students and teacher of the class were ridiculously close-minded and prejudiced, so I threw this at them: [link]

...But other than that, I think the best way to show how normal Muslims are is to just stick to whatever art we feel like making. Fanart of anime/video game characters, nature photography, Lego art XD...it's just like "Yeah...we're normal people, thank you very much XD."

wow.... the fact that you even had to put that no predjudice disclaimer is alarming to the point in which i just lost a bit of faith in humanity in which a great artist would be persecutted because their muslim... (i didnt know thats pretty cool lol), why cant we all get along ? lol but anyway kick ass stuff even if i dont get it (might be cause im tired too) eitherway, kick ass !
